Hi gobenchannt
I have owned 2 stone Koetsus.
Pls refer to the links, for the pics

Blue Lace - https://1drv.ms/i/s!AszPQc3v0wx9gaM9n-kVVRblIuYj6A
I got both Koetsus from Melvin Ang - so they are 100% genuine
From your Onyx pic - the slope from the front of the cart. seems consistent with both my carts.
What is missing is the "bulge" of the gold metal plate, where the cantilever ends.
I was made aware that in the past, there was an Onyx which is NOT Platinum (without this generator), so NOT sure where the "bulge" in your cart went to. Secondly, this could be a rebuild (by non-Koetsu builders) whereby there maybe NO bulge - but I have no experience on this
Silver pins are standard fare in Koetsu carts.
Still best to check with Melvin Ang
FWIW - cheers ... Peter
